Muncie School Board Fails to Vote on Bus Issue

by Sammy Edmondsposted Feb 14 2014 3:19PM

After a long discussion about what to do about bus service next school year, the Muncie School Board last night did nothing.

The “Star Press” reports after lengthy discussions about ending bus service for students in Muncie, a motion was made to end the service...but nothing else. The motion died for lack of a second.

Board members discussed their options about what to do about paying for the service or cutting staff and programs in order to balance the budget. The discussions come after the board already voted earlier to consolidate Central and Southside into one high school after this year.
